In 2010 Lukas Geniusas won the Chopin Piano Competition playing this difficult cycle of Chopin's Etudes.

American Record Guide, March/April 2014Given a last name that begins with Genius. Fortunately this 23-year-old Lithuanian-Russian can easily bear the weight of such an appendage. He handles these 24 difficult pieces with great distinction and imagination. His father is pianist Petras, and his uncle is conductor Julius Geniusas. Lukas took second place in the Gina Bachauer Competition when he was only 13. Expect warm, clear sound and interesting.
